We have to work together (with US) respectfully, without threatening each other,' premier tells reporters ahead of EU leaders meeting in Brussels - Anadolu Ajansı

Denmark and Greenland reaffirmed that the island’s sovereignty is non-negotiable even as President Donald Trump claimed the US would gain “total access” to Greenland following talks with Nato chief Mark Rutte.

American and NATO officials have discussed giving the United States sovereignty over U.S. military bases in Greenland. The Danes don’t seem to like that.

Staunch NATO allies Denmark and Iceland are "dismayed, angry and saddened by being bullied by the United States," Sen. Dick Durbin said.

President Trump told reporters Wednesday that NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is “more important” than Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen when asked about Danish officials’ unwillingness to discuss the U.

Negotiations among Denmark, Greenland, and the U.S. will proceed with the goal of ensuring that Russia and China never get a foothold in Greenland, either militarily or economically, a NATO spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Denmark has deployed combat soldiers and allied forces to Greenland for long-term Arctic training exercises, coordinated with NATO and the Greenlandic government, unrelated to Trump's past Greenland comments.
